Let's taco 'bout it!
- You should re-listen to our Christmas Food Traditions episode--it's funny!
- Sharon ate all of the things while she was away from the podcast--her favorite thing she had a smoked pork shoulder Ike made on the Big Green Egg.
- Winter and Lee went to the Italian restaurant Stanza for their anniversary dinner and LOVED it! Surprisingly, the waygu beef entree was a little clumsy and disappointing, but their duck breast entree was the winner of the night.
- Winter's top 3 trends that need to die of 2017: Avocado toast everywhere on social media, food videos that are all the same with nobody in them (all the Tasty-style videos), anything unicorn-flavored (I'm looking at you, Starbucks. By the way, you should check out this commercial).
- Sharon's top 3 trends that need to die of 2017: Designer cupcakes, pumpkin pie spice, and food videos that are too slow (some are good and others are SLOW).
- We love a few Youtube folks in the food space, like Ashlee Marie Cakes and Binging with Babish.
- Winter is excited about Amazon purchasing Whole Foods and the trend of ordering groceries online (like Walmart or Smith's). Sharon does this already with Winder Farms, a local grocery delivery service.
- Sharon is excited about menu revamping, such as at Starbucks and Red Lobster, kinda like Olive Garden did a couple of years ago. By the way, Freshies Lobster Rolls won the nation's best lobster roll award.
- Impossible Foods is creating a plant-based burger, with the bloodiness of the meat called "heme".
- Millennial food-influences, such as eating more at home and DIY-ing food, is an exciting trend.
- Winter is also excited about poke, a Hawaiian chunk salad, coming more on the scene. It's sushi in a bowl!
- Sharon is excited to see more food styling--it's beautiful and happy and a break from some of the heaviness of of what is happening in the world today. We love the work of Baked by Joanna and LokoKitchen.
- Sharon's 2018 food goals involve eating more fish and setting a food budget.
- Winters 2018 food goals involve cooking more herself and justifying all the kitchen gear (such as the Instant Pot, Blendtec Blender, and Hamilton Beach Sous Vide) we have (ala January Cure 2018).
- What are your food goals for 2018?
- We help our Food Fight listener figure out how to stomach golden milk. Sharon loves Heidi Swanson's 101 Cookbooks' recipe for turmeric tea. Maybe add honey. Or you can be okay not loving this trend (you be you!).
